In May 2012 Anathema released 'Weather Systems', the most acclaimed and successful album of the band's celebrated career. The album scored high in numerous critics end of year polls around the world and cemented the band's reputation as one of the most exciting and progressive band around.

Following the release of the album the band embarked on a lengthy tour.

This incredible show was documented by acclaimed filmmaker Lasse Hoile (Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Dream Theater), the stunning results of which will be released as Universal.

"...a wonderful location and mind-blowing audio quality. The new arrangements manage to perfectly combine the orchestra with a large number of songs (Dreaming Light, The Storm Before the Calm, Everything) making them sound even more intense and vibrant than the studio versions."

And incredibly the British media don't mention this band - ever. Yet they hail from Liverpool. An absolutely cast-iron world class act who can reduce grown men and women with the sheer and absolute beauty and power of their music. The Douglas's and Cavanaghs are simply unmatched by any other band in the world today, even U2 and The Rolling Stones.

There are some bands you discover for a reason. This is one of them. Simply amazing

[SendasCrio]

Anybody can say that this song is about loss. Most will argue that its about the loss of a lover. What I feel when I listen to this is a connection to the ones who have departed, my uncles, grandparents and their continuous presence in my life because I can still feel that specially in the moments of hardship. Turning 30 today I came back to this video to thank anathema for putting this eternal feeling into a song and just be grateful for how good this years treated me. I’ve seen them in Lisbon for the first time in the beginning of March for the last concert of the tour (unfortunately), it was a real close moment for us all there, I felt I was watching a group of my friends play, and they finished with this song. Couldn’t hold the tears. Thanks for the moments and may you keep playing for years to come

[LionStar]

In my own personal opinion, ANATHEMA is currently the best rock band worldwide.

[cseba]

Is it just me, or crying along this song is completely natural?

[actpohom]

It was a magical concert. I hadn't really heard of Anathema before the concert, but I was sold from the first song. I tell you, guys, nothing like been there on the first row and listening to THIS kind of heart-warming music.

[fullorellana]

Me duele muchísimo que se hayan separado. Su música siempre me acompaña a todas partes. ¡Gracias!

[LigeiaLesang]

I'm crying right now because I can't believe how incredible are Anathema and this band makes me feel so fragile and alive at the same time. This next 12 october I'm gonna go to Teatro Flores to see them perform and I can't wait, I'm terribly nervous and excited, YOU'RE AMAZING, DON'T FORGET!

[omair]

Vinny is one of my favourite vocalists ever

[williamcecil]

Best live version of this beautiful song!

[SyncopaticSimon]

This song is truely untouchable. It is a rare thing when I can loose myself in a song and forget all my problems. For that fleeting moment I am untouchable. I am free.

[alexiacobellis]

every chords are tears from my eyes...

[Dreamer]

I could only watch this without sound, I have to wait until the disc is in my player to experience this fully for the first time. Anathema are the greatest band that too many people have never heard of.

[naraleao]

I miss this song that I love so much, live it was phenomenal❤🎵

[LACROIX]

Universal concert dvd is really a must... 2:20 hours of dream, pleasure.
I can assure you will not regret your
Go on Anathema We need you and your music

[saracasandra]

Ver cantar a Vincent es una experiencia mágica, formidable, interpreta al punto de transmitir cada palabra de la canción... Y ver en conjunto a Anathema es una fusión de excelencia, perfección, armonía y un huracán de emociones. Son grandes!!! Los amo Anathema

[sethalos]

Probably one of my Top 5 bands of all time these guys. Love it all.

[juanignaciosanchez]

4:15 las guitarras y la batería lo mejor

[Minachozalde]

this song reminds me of my beloved father who strugled for over 2 years against a throat cancer that finally beat him on january 1st 2015. it certainly takes me down but still brings back lots of beautiful memories and images ... thank you anathema for this masterpiece.

[Orxan]

To see Anathema live and die! This is more than masterpiece...
